All jobs are not created equal
By Ed Garvey

Are you sick of it yet? You know: “JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.” Every program, silly or serious, is introduced with the line “this will create jobs.”

“Jobs, jobs, jobs” to justify the cost of another tax break for the rich or a new appointment. Everything espoused by the tea partiers will, we are told, create more jobs. But, as Tom Harkin pointed out years ago, slaves had jobs. We want good jobs — with benefits and wages that can support a family.

Governor Scott Walker promised to create 250,000 permanent, family-supporting jobs in four years. If the poverty level is $22,000 for a family of four, we assume that a family-supporting job is roughly twice that amount. How did Walker kick off his mission? By killing a couple thousand high-speed rail jobs; watching Kohler cut 300 jobs, terminating 400 people at the Commerce Department. Some start.

On FightingBob.com, we are keeping a tally on Walker-created jobs. Walker — our man of La Mancha — must create 177 jobs every day, weekends included, to reach his goal. He is down more than 6,000 jobs at this point, so he had better get moving.

Are these good-paying, family-supporting jobs? And are they permanent?
